19 Waffle Recipes That Aren’t Just For Breakfast

As Leslie Knope (and any other living, breathing human for that matter) can tell you, waffles are bomb. Piled high with fruit and whipped cream or simply topped off with maple syrup, waffles are the reason why you get excited for brunch. But as these amazing waffle recipes collected by Spoon University go to show, you would be doing yourself a huge disservice if you just limited your waffle intake to morning-time meals. These crispy, crunchy treats can and should be eaten all day long — and there is no shortage of ways to do that. Of course, you'll always have your classics on standby (think cinnamon waffles, or waffles loaded with chocolate chips), but then it's time to get a little creative. Waffle s'mores (or a s'moreffle, as I like to call them)? Heck yes. Pepperoni pizza waffles? Now we're talking. Whether you're making lunch, dinner, or are looking for a late-night snack, make sure you break out the waffle maker. You're gonna need it.

Waffles are a classic Sunday mornin' go-to.

But given their versatility, you can really eat waffles whenever you want (#blessed). They're easy to whip up and you can deck them out with whatever your heart desires — syrup, chocolate chips, marshmallows, even bacon.
